The Air Reserve Personnel Center has recommended Individual Reservists no longer utilize AirBnB (and similar lodging options) when traveling on orders as those properties are not available to book through the Defense Travel System or Travel Management Company. Forthcoming Air Force policy will likely disallow, or limit to the on-base rate, lodging reimbursement to members who opt to utilize that service. The new policy will likely not contain a grace period. As a reminder, all travelers are required to utilize DTS or TMC (formerly CTO) when making lodging arrangements. Not utilizing DTS or TMC may make lodging charges non-reimbursable. For more information, contact the IMA Travel Office.
